474 itemsWelcome to University of Florida: Panama Canal
The libraries of the University of Florida are participating in an IMLS-funded
demonstration project called "Cooperative Federal Depository Program" (CFDP) under
the leadership of the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL). This
program seeks to provide workable solutions to address the increasing cost of
managing, preserving, and providing access to large collections of Federal
government publications. A Center of Excellence is a library establishing a
collection and related services focused on a specific Federal agency or subject area
represented by Federal documents. This collection of digitized documents represents
the University of Florida's George A. Smathers Library's Center of Excellence for
the Panama Canal.
As a Federal Depository Library, the Government Documents Department holds
approximately 1,500 items published by the Federal Government relating to the
planning for, building of and ongoing operation of the Panama Canal. These holdings
include 33 linear feet of publications produced by the U.S. Panama Canal Commission
and its predecessor agencies, the Panama Canal Company/Canal Zone Government, the
Panama Canal, and the Isthmian Canal Commission. Congressional hearings, committee
reports, maps, and general documents concerning the Canal are included in this
collection.
